The United States of Rome. That sounds more like it. We were once a republic. The power was in our hands … and we elected folks to represent us. That doesn’t happen any more. Now we’re by-standers. Bit players. The audience. We think we’re in charge, but we’re not. It’s all about the few. … Continue reading The United States of Rome

Lost Beans
On September 2nd, Diane Ravitch lost her beans. And she's never found them again. She skidded off into a rabid rant about Trump supporters and some "grizzled old man" in "a beaten-up, dirty truck" who "must have gone to public schools" because he didn't "look like a graduate of Andover or Exeter." I'll let you … Continue reading Lost Beans
Vulgar Washington

"A lot of us thought, 'Oh, Ivanka is gonna … Continue reading Listen To The Media Toilet Gurgle.
Déjà Vu All Over Again
Let's act like some steam-punks ... and do some time travel. It seems that present day educrats … think Arne Duncan, John King, and Bill Gates … might have channeled a dusty figure from the past. Meet Horace Mann who ... at times ... could actually be a pretty horrid man. Mann, a mid-nineteenth century peacock, was perhaps America’s … Continue reading Déjà Vu All Over Again
You Cannot Be Shocked
Go ahead! Act shocked. It won’t change a thing. This is your mess … and mine. It’s on us. Dumbfounded? How come? Wondering … “Where’d these imbeciles come from?” Here's a hint … Their mind-bending began on Day One … of kindergarten. That was the same day you stopped paying attention. Today's punks ... who … Continue reading You Cannot Be Shocked
